I got into tennis because of my parents. They would play a little on the weekend and I liked it when I played.

I love tennis, but the main thing in my life, is life.

Roger is such a great player and I can’t say how excited I am to be playing the final against him. Hopefully, I’ll be able to maintain my focus and not get overawed by the occasion.

I had so much respect for him out on court. I hope I can play him again many times … and why not here?

I always ran very fast and jumped very high but when I was about thirteen it was more of a choice between football and tennis, and I went for tennis.

People think that jumping or do trick shot is gifted. Yes, it’s gifted but is a lot of work. I won’t say I work on the trick shot, but it’s like I think physically I’m one of the best.

I think I play tennis for, to against a big legend, big court, short time. That’s what I train for. That’s why every day I wake up and I wish I could play those matches, you know. It’s like, for me it’s the best thing can happen is to play against that guy on that stage, you know.

For me, tennis is a sport. It’s not a job, it’s a sport.

I did tennis for a while, and I was actually on the volleyball team for a minute.

I never thought tennis was going to give me so much satisfaction.

What these guys are doing is great for Argentinean tennis. This is motivating other people.

It was so easy to play tennis, so easy.

Tennis is a 100-mph chess match.

I loved to play, I was competitive, I wanted to win, that was all I knew. In the first few years tennis is a game. Later, it becomes a job.

It was very hard for me to practice and enjoy my tennis, and I didn’t know the why, so I worked with psychologists to try and see what was happening. They pushed me really hard.

In Argentina at various tournaments, it’s great. Every day it’s full, everybody’s crazy about tennis, everybody wants to play tennis.

I carried through well with my tennis. I got the respect by usage of the tennis racket.

I think in the lifetime of a tennis player there are many times where you feel that tremendous confidence

Tennis has had a very positive impact on my life.

It’s a great moment for Argentinean tennis, more on the men’s side. I would like to see more on the women’s side. I think we have to work a little bit more on that.

I always try to have something that keeps my mind relaxed, keeps my mind a little bit off tennis.

The depressing thing about tennis is that no matter how good I get, I’ll never be as good as a wall.
